[Intro] G [Verse 1]
        G                D
The flames they followed Joan of Arc

C                   G     
 As she came riding through the dark;

A                    D
No moon to keep her armour bright,

A                 G                 D       D7   
No man to get her through the smoky night.

G                    D
 She said, I’m tired of the war,

C                 G
I want the work I had before,

  A                D
A wedding dress or something white

A               G           D     D7
To wear upon my swollen appetite.
[Chorus]
D            Am                     C                     G                   
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------
[Verse 2]
G                    D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way,

C                        G     
I’ve watched you riding every day

     A              D
And something in me yearns to win

A               G            D    D7      
Such a cold and lonesome heroine.

G                    D
And who are you? she sternly spoke

C              G     
To the voice beneath the smoke.

A          D
I am fire, he replied,

A                G                         D      D7      
 And I love your solitude, and I love your pride.
[Chorus]
D            Am                     C                     G                   
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------
[Verse 3]
G               D
Fire, make your body cold,

C               G     
When I give you mine to hold,

     A              D
And saying this she stepped inside

A              G              D    D7      
To be his one, to be his only bride.

G                  D
 And deep into his fiery heart

C                   G     
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,

    A              D
And high above the wedding guests

A             G                  D          
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
[Chorus]
D           Am                      C                     G                                          
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------
[Verse 4]
G             D
Deep into his fiery heart

C                   G     
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,

A                D
Then she clearly understood

A               G                D       D7   
If he was fire, then she must be wood.

G                  D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,

C             G     
Saw the glory in her eye.

A                 D
Myself I long for love and light,

A                   G              D          
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Chorus]
D           Am          C                                 G                        
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------

D           Am          C                                 G                     
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------
